CARRIE FISHER
MAY THE FORCE
BE WITH YOU
ALWAYS
HOPE
According to The Hollywood Reporter, visiting fans created a line down Hollywood Boulevard on Wednesday, waiting for their chance to take a photo or leave flowers, candles, cinnamon rolls, or a lightsaber. "This will do until she gets an official one," one visitor told THR. Another told the site, "I'm shocked she doesn't already have a star. But I'm not at all surprised a fan made one for her."
Watch some of the visitors pay their respects:
